revWeb and XHTML 1.1 Strict

Post by SirWobbyTheFirst » Fri May 06, 2011 5:17 pm

Hey guys, it's been a while since I dropped by, but problems have arose again.

I'm writing a website in pure XHTML 1.1 Strict and of course running it through the validator and I've hit a little snag when embedding the revLet into the web page.

1) - XHTML 1.1 Strict doesn't support the <embed> tag and Expression Web 4 displays a red line underneath the tag, it's the same with Flash videos using the <embed> tag, and the validator confirmed it wasn't supported in the standard.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could embed the revLet into the web page I want without using the <embed> tag as I'm wanting to stick to the XHTML 1.1 Strict standard otherwise my code will get messy. I thought it might be useful to post here as you never know when someone like me might have hit the same problem when running the code through the validator.

Cheers, Michael.

Michael,

Ah thank you very much Mark, yet again you never cease to be helpful. I shall bookmark that and refer to it when dumping a revLet into a web page.

Thanks, Michael.
